The
four exhibition rooms of the natural sciences section (access through
the Children Park) attract a large number of visitors.
The first room displays an introduction to space exploration: photo
collages representing galaxies, super galaxies and our solar system,
models of rockets and space ships.
The central part of the exhibition is occupied by the mineralogical
and ecological collections. The exposed samples illustrate the types
of characteristic minerals of west and north-west Romania. The specific
fauna and flora of the county are presented through a diorama picturing
the characteristic ecosystems of the Arad region: plain (slop, veldt),
hill and mountain, completed with a reconstruction of a cave ecosystem.
The most significant pieces of the palaeontological collection, most
of them of local provenience, are exposed next to rich complementary
material with the role of creating a comprehensive image of the evolution
of life on Earth.
